BREAKING: CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins confronted Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) live on air Tuesday night about her alleged tirade against a TSA official at the Charleston International Airport last month. The interview quickly turned heated as Collins pressed Mace on explosive claims detailed in a new report from The Washington Post.
The report includes video footage and eyewitness accounts that describe Mace’s behavior as “berating” towards airport employees, where she reportedly unleashed a profanity-laden outburst. Collins cited specific quotes attributed to Mace, including calling a TSA employee a “f—— idiot” and “f—— incompetent.” In a tense exchange, Collins directly asked, “Are you saying that you never said any of these quotes, that every single one is a lie?”
Mace, currently campaigning for governor of South Carolina, challenged the authenticity of the report, responding defiantly, “I have never called a cop an idiot. That is remarkably false.” Collins retorted, “But you’re saying these police officers are lying?” to which Mace insisted, “I am absolutely saying that that report was falsified. 100% fictitious.”
This confrontation comes amid a crucial electoral season, as Mace seeks to solidify her support among constituents. The implications of this incident could resonate deeply within her campaign, especially as tensions rise around personal conduct in public office.
Authorities confirm that local police officers were present during the October incident, which adds weight to the allegations against Mace. The fallout from this exchange is expected to ripple through social media, as both supporters and detractors weigh in on the claims and counterclaims made during the interview.
This urgent story is developing, and more details are likely to emerge as the public reacts. Watch this space for updates on how this situation unfolds and its potential impact on Mace’s campaign and political future.
